In the Ad Vice case "The Set Up", Candy Edwards has a movie ticket stub for The Egyptian Theater showing of the movie "The Set Up". The date on the stub is March 10 1947, but in actuality the movie was not released in theaters until two years later (1949). Coincidentally, the case is similar in nature to the movie. See more »

User Reviews

Rockstar games has done it again! This game is incredible - it's visually stunning, the gameplay is smooth and, most importantly, the story is fantastic. Once you start playing, you become enveloped into Cole Phelps. I bought the game at midnight because I wanted to watch the opening sequence, but I couldn't stop playing! Its true - the line between video games and movies is blurred more than ever. Especially with games like Heavy Rain and LA Noir (amoung countless others, such as Rockstar's own Red Dead Redemption), whose stories are rich and gripping. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is on the fence about getting it. You won't be disappointed!
